Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: We have stayed at Barlow Country Club before and enjoyed it so decided to stay again. We love the privacy the hedges give as we have a nervous dog. It a lovely walk through the fishing lakes. Literally minutes walk to Tickled Trout pub which have a great range of craft beers. The food looks excellent but not eaten here. Further up the hill is The Peacock another favourite of ours. We sat outside where the locals were very friendly. We ordered nachos which said were homemade. Delicious is the only way to describe them and definitely never had nachos that tasted so good. The site doesn't have any facilities but we are self sufficient so not a problem.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike although a little pricey when there's no facilities but would still return

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: We stayed on pitch 4 which was a good size and surrounded by conifers, making it very secluded. Very quiet. Water and electric at the pitch. Fantastic restaurant 5 minutes walk away - The Tickled Trout. Great location for visiting the north Peak District and also close to Chesterfield and Sheffield.
Disliked: No facilities (as advertised) which makes the fee per pitch seem expensive. Some of the pitches weren’t as nice as others. More information about the site would have been appreciated, including a more detailed map. Fishing lakes were disappointing, blue-green algae in two, and lots of mud everywhere. Seemed a little run down. Very poor phone and tv signal.

Liked: Lovely spacious pitches, which are fairly private Great location. Lovely area to explore with plenty of walks from the site. Fabulous pub (The Peacock), which is just a 20 min walk away, next to a deli and cafe. Able to pick your own pitch Comprehensive text of instructions prior to arrival Open green space in front of pitches Will definitely visit again
Disliked: The grass alongside the pitch, was quite long and as we were on a shady pitch, (pitch 9), it didn’t dry out and was very boggy.

Liked: The privacy and seclusion of the pitch was a real breath of fresh air and the quality of the pitch was very good. Grass was very wet, but you cannot blame the campsite for all the rain 😊 Our car actually got stuck in the grass due to the very wet weather, but the site staff were very helpful and understanding and promptly towed out the car - Thank you!!!
Disliked: The site was very tired and looked to be in need of some general maintenance and the lack of any type of facilities is a little disappointing although this was indicated during the booking process.

Liked: Well laid out pitches generally with privacy provided by the surrounding tall hedges. Serviced pitches. Nice scenery, two very nice pubs within a few minutes walk. Nice walks around the ponds and in the vicinity with fishing for those inclined. Friendly, cosy, dog friendly cabin down at the end of the ponds for drinks snacks breakfast etc. Nice site for those who don't mind using their caravan facilities as there are non on site as specifically stated. No point complaining after the event, find a site that does. It appeared there was a defunct block on the site so facilities have been available in the past.
Disliked: Slightly tight entrance to the pitches with tight maneuvering from the access road without over running on to the grassed areas which at the time of writing were very wet and muddy. Motor movers essential if not skilled at maneuvering. The hard standing on some pitches were narrow which meant awnings would have to be sited on water logged grass at certain wet times of the year. Did not understand why the main entrance gate was locked at 4:00pm when access to the site was while 9:00pm. The alternative access through the cottages entrance and carpark is quite tight for caravans particularly in the dark months. This was quite apparent when on the day of our departure in broad daylight a twin axle brand spanking new coachman came in that entrance by mistake due to wrong sat nav info and badly scraped the rear trim! The site information provided is copious and you need to read it carefully its not easy to turn back if you miss the first entrance. A little bit of tlc required to the waste disposal area and clear instructions as to what goes where. A few pavers to form a footpath would also be a good idea.
